How did you get the interview? They must get a lot of junk applications, what did you write to make them actually look at you instead of direct to trash, and then decide to interview?

easiest way to shortcircuit the process is to reach out to someone through linked in and ask for a referral. if you're really who you claim to be in your profile here then you shouldn't have any trouble getting an interview.

Do people get a FAANG interview with no recognizable credentials? Surely they have to sift the CVs somehow?

tubby12345 · 4 years ago

of course they need credentials but undergrad at decent state school is much more widely available credential than ivy+. hell FB hires high school grads into their FBU program (for the gap summer between high school and uni).

like you don't get it: go here https://www.hudsonrivertrading.com/careers/job/?gh_jid=35621... and find the dropdown for school ("what university are you currently attending").

When the status quo is objectively stupid, it is right and just to complain about it. In real life, the ones who will do so are mostly just the ones who it hurts. So what do you want to happen here, if it's not just for devs to shut up about the insanity that's making them miserable?

i have no clue what you're saying

>In real life, the ones who will do so are mostly just the ones who it hurts.

you think people grinding LC that make it through are hurt by the process?

>the insanity that's making them miserable

as far as i can tell, sloth, avarice, and greed are making devs miserable (not some bogeyman called LC).

I don't think anyone is saying never implement an algorithm. There's a time and place. I've seen code bases where these algorithms had ten different implementations, some of the with subtle bugs, some of them with some performance issues. Your code will also need to be maintained down the line. There's more to software engineering than writing toposort.

Obviously(?) my Boost proposal was made in jest. Anyways, maybe I'm a little bit jealous that you get to do this all the time ;) I just hope I'm not the one that has to maintain it down the road...

i'm good at what i do - my implementations are clean. they got that way (surprise surprise) as a side-effect of me implementing many times.
